Girl Inside My Head

by John Popper

When all is said and done
I wish I needed no one
Never was up to me
Just something in her way that sets me free
It seems so easy

And I try to pay attention
But there's only four things running through my mind

How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
Should she see the willing dog, or should I be a jungle cat?
And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that?

I don't need another girl inside my head

'Johnny, be brave,' I say inside
As I won't take a bite from the apple that she gave me
But that's not what I'm after
Still all along, my mother's voice singing
'Treat her like a lady'

I'm not the only one to write her letters
It doesn't matter anyhow
The question isn't if, but when

In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning

by Bob Hilliard

When the sun is high
In the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk til dawn
As the clock ticks on
Something happens to you

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never even think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

Fool in the Rain

by Robert Plant

There's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts burning
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up and make it alright?

And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me
Whatever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time, believe me
I'm standing here feeling blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes, no longer
And then I'm turning around
And the clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart, it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over

Tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away

I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
I gotta get it all

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I got no reason to doubt you
It's all a terrible mess
And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless, I'll run till I drop
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block

This Peace

by Sara Groves

So many words to say
But I'm opting for silence
So many days to live
I think I'm sitting this one out
'Cause something I've been chasing
Finally stopped to let me catch it
Something I've been longing for
And dreaming about

It's a whisper in my ear
It's a shiver up my spine
It's the gratitude I feel
For all that's right
It's a mystery appeal
That's been granted me tonight
This peace

It's something so elusive
Something close but far away
It's the home that I can't live in yet
Somewhere in outer space
Sometimes I barely miss it
When I walk into the room
The curtains are still swaying
And I feel the air move

It whispers in my ear
And it shivers up my spine
It's the gratitude I feel
For all that's right
It's a mystery appeal
That's been granted me tonight
This peace

No time to grab a camera
No time to write it down
Just time enough to breathe it in
And linger

Wesley Covenant Prayer

by John Wesley

I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine.
So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen.

The Trains

by Carl Rusk

She acts unaware of her smile
Or the scent of her hair
When she leaves the room
She takes everyone's eyes out with her

But I've learned too much to let her bring me down
But when she's not around
I can hear the trains underground
When I'm alone
I can feel the sun going down

How can I explain
All the reasons she frightens me so?
When she has the power
To burn me right down to my soul

But then every night I see her in my dreams
But the days in between
She tears me apart at the seams
Once I was strong
She's taught me what loneliness means

No, nobody else could understand it like I do
So I got to make her realize she loves me too
And I do, I really do

September Song

by Maxwell Anderson

It's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September and November
But these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
